11/9    Regarding multi-zone DVD's.  Anyone know how to make your Apple G5
        DVD-player multizone?  It offers up to 5 switches before it's stuck
        in one zone forever.  I have both DVD's legitimately bought overseas
        and in the US.
        \_ install VLC.  If I remember it right, VLC has DeCSS built-in.
           however, you *WILL* become a criminal who violates Intellectual
           Properties right.   Not all DVD works, though.
        \_ Depending on the model you may be able to flash it w/ a region
           free firmware. Take a look at the following:

tdb.rpc1.orgBefore flashing your drive to RPC1, please, please, understand what you a re doing! We are getting sick and tired of reading and responding to posts from people who have cluelessly flashed to RPC1 and then act surprised and bemused that it doesn't function how they expected. If you have not used an RPC1 firmware before you really need to learn a few things first, because it probably doesn't work the way you imagine it does. The most often cause for this to be missing is the configuration of your software firewall, which is blocking this information and breaking the internet. If you correctly configure the firewall, or disable it, this problem will be resolved. org/ Firmware flashers * NEC ND-1100A (ND-1000A,ND-1300A) Version 103 for DOS.

We have several decades of experience in assembler and machine code, ranging from 4-bit to 64-bit. We believe region coding to be an unnecessary annoyance, which interferes with the legitimate use of technology. If content suppliers wish to fight piracy they need to make the content available in the form the consumer wants, and at a price that reflects the actual cost. We strongly believe that piracy is immoral, but so too is greed, the market for legitimate unprotected content at reasonable prices is huge. Books did not destroy the world, they transformed it, because information is power. The fact we can share books, and that libraries exist has not destroyed the publishing and authoring industries. The concept of a Trusted Computer Architecture will ultimately fail when we all reject it as making our lives more difficult and less productive. We read the forum, but have no desire to participate in endless dialog. If you don't understand something, go do some research and learn before asking questions. We have confidence in our own work, but if something is BETA, it has the potential to partially or totally malfunction. If you put the wrong firmware on the wrong drive we will laugh at you, so be absolutely sure you know what make, model and hardware revision you have and which firmware is appropriate for it. Do not start a new thread if an older one already exists, search first. When you add your drive details, the thread will come to the top automatically. Do not whine, or bump threads, your needs are not always those of the community so be patient. Patching is a complex process, some drives are more complex than others, the availabilty of a patch is dependent on this complexity and the willingness of patchers to expend effort to produce and test a patch. We do not want to receive communications from those unwilling to think for themselves, those newbies whose first reaction is to email will received a swift and hard boot to the head.
